“Julia Dao, was the key to my recovery and I recommend her to anyone that feels they need assistance in getting their mind and body to what it once was. She was instrumental in shifting me from a very hard and difficult time from two serious car accidents. Her continuous efforts, excellent advice and positive feedback for every small step I made to recovery gave me hope […] I had doubts about OT's so I am very happy that I gave it another chance with her. She is incredibly insightful, energetic, and has given me lifelong tools to build a happier and healthier life.”
